Windows Vista Keygen a Hoax

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the too-good-to-be-true dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The author of the Windows Vista keygen that was reported yesterday has admitted that the program does not actually work. Here is the initial announcement of the original release of the keygen, and here is the followup post in which the same author acknowledges that the program is fake. Apparently, the keygen program does legitimately attack Windows Vista keys via brute force, but the chances of success are too low for this to be a practical method. Quote from the author: 'Everyone who said they got a key is probably lying or mistaken!'"

  3. Resetting the trial period? by mobby_6kl · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Skipping the background story, is there any way to reset the trial period (with slmgr -rearm) after the original trial ran out? Running the command isn't the problem, but it seems to either do nothing (with a regular account) or crash with an error when running as admin. TIA.
